- In this video, I'm gonna show you…how to work with views and entity manipulation in Alias.…Let's go up to file open…and if you've pointed Alias to the correct chapter,…it should naturally go straight to the wire file…and let's select the very first wire file.…Now, Alias comes back with a question.…It's asking you, "Do you want to delete all the objects,…"shaders, views and actions before opening this file?"…And typically, the answer for this is always yes.…Let's do this again.…Let's open up the next wire file…and this time, I'm gonna say no.…
